GM Darius Jenkins and Head Coach Gilbert Brown will lead the team into their inaugural season, despite another potential owner, Milwaukee Pro Football, no longer involved in the process.
In a statement Monday, Milwaukee Pro Football said:
"Milwaukee Football Development, Inc. remains active and continues to build and grow its football development work in Milwaukee. Its team subsidiary, Milwaukee Pro Football, LLC, also remains active. Our founders are evaluating future league and development options. No new league affiliation or team launch agreement is in place."
